Big if true. 1 per person is how it should be so that it keeps posters, at least initially, in the hands of those who went to the show. Maybe a system of 1 per person before/during show and then open it up to 2 per person once it's over? Might be a happy medium. I know a lot of people pick up a spare for a friend or someone arriving late but the reality is that most people buying 2 are looking to use it as trade bait.
Perhaps they reduced it to one poster due to the possibility of the recent decision to postpone/cancel tonight show

So sorry for everyone who travelled for this show, hope you can find something rewarding to do today.

There was not a 1 poster limit. Everyone was buying 2.

Any of these posters - probably framed, matted and hung - can look incredible. That’s art 101. Frankly, most people (PJ fans in particular) don’t display their stuff correctly, because it’s expensive or they don’t have an eye for matting etc or because they hang it next to five other things that don’t compliment it or because its being displayed in a Michael’s poster binder in a closet etc. I’ve gone through those threads where people post pictures of their PJ prints framed and hung and all I can say is...yuck. Lots of gutless black frame jobs hung over shitty home office desk furniture. Yeah, of course it looks bad.
These prints aren’t my personal favorites but I could see someone doing something awesome with them.
Friendly rant over!
So glad we have such a grand art connoisseur among us. Good grief. All I can say about this post is yuck.
A lot of bad prints, the one that was for tonight is up there in the worst ever category.

I think the poster was a foreshadowing event- the train began coming off the rails with that nasty looking thing.
I'm actually relived. I didn't feel last nights performance was great and tonight would have been worse. Combined with a shit poster I'll happily wait until July for a shot at better versions of both.
Obviously massively sucks for all those who travelled.

Haha calm down. People are nuts over these posters; just trying to inject a little levity into the discussion. Why do people care so much if they are going to stick them in a crummy looking frame or into a binder?

Are these the official posters? What's the significance of some of these, such as the first one with the goddess-type woman?
The problem, in my opinion, is that rock posters in general are detached from the show itself.
the fusion of the artists together with that specific show (geographically, date wise etc) is what interests me.
Just getting some guy who's amazing at drawing crows, do draw a crow and throw Pearl Jam on top off it is quite boring to me. Or atlest, a missed opportunity.
True. The artwork is awesome but for me since ‘98, maybe 2000, the posters don’t really say “gig poster”. It’s a piece of artwork with Pearl Jam on it. Some are better than others but they don’t really look like concert posters. You can’t deny the talent of the artists but something is missing.
This is the same problem I have with them. It's gone away from "gig poster" to "illustration with words."
I doubt there will be a new poster. I'd expect the original to stand. Not a classic and this is a bit of a cliché, but it does look better in person.
They've sold them, can't imagine they'll just rehash the dates and rerelease
I'm guessing all of the stock inside the venue is still sat there.
So either that's all there is for the rescheduled show or they'll print another run to top it up.
It would be just another issue to deal with to get a new poster in place IMO.

deathburger Pearl
Jam official poster for today's show at London O2 - A free
interpretation of Saraswati + inter-dimensional travel and fruit
offerings. Super healthy and peaceful, no death burgers to be found.
The
bad news: Unfortunately the show has been cancelled and re-scheduled
due to Eddie Vedder's voice problems. Take care Eddie I'm hoping for a
quick recovery, thanks to @pearljam and @mrtsurt for having me on this tour.
deathburger "Thanks
everybody, I have APs but im not too happy about the colors on the
print, because of that it is unlikely that I will sell them. I hope you
understand my reasoning in that regard "

Unusual decision, so he's pretty much going to not take the $10k that he would make in the sale because he doesn't like the way it came out...wow. That is an artist who cares about his work!

But people would have still bought it if the show had gone ahead right, so I don't understand that... If he wasn't happy with the colours then why put it up for sale as merch?

Tsang said the band loved the poster and to likely expect more PJ posters in the future

I waited 3 and half hours to get this poster as I like it and judging by the queue after me so many others, just hope the flippers don’t get rewarded.
no to flippers.
